Proponents of The Education Initiative, a k a the margin tax, will meet Tuesday evening with wary legislative Democrats about the ballot initiative that could drive turnout next year.
I'm told the union folks plan to be sober but not threatening, urging the Democrats, some flying to Las Vegas from the North, to get on board because of polling data that indicates it could pass.
The Democrats, who have a vacancy in the top race and a couple of female Danish princesses in the lieutenant governor's...
UPDATE, 11/12/13: Attorney Andrew Rempfer says -- and this is the epitomy of irony -- the constable has evaded service. You know, what people usually do to constables trying to serve them!
And, according to an email trail he provided, John Bonaventura's lawyer won't be served, either:
Mr. Pool: Your comments below are inapposite to your Notice of Appearance,
Docket #7. That Notice proves you have implied authority to accept service.
In re Focus Media, Inc., 387 F.3d 1077 (9th Cir. 2004). I...
Good morning, everyone. I am sure Erin Cranor is a very nice person. She seems earnest and committed to her job on the Clark County school board. I have no doubt she loves children and wants the district to do better. But she makes me fear for the future of Nevada’s kids.
Last night on “Ralston Reports,” Cranor provided only treacly platitudes as we chatted about Nevada’s horrible place on a national report card. Over and over and over again. It was frustrating and frightening (link below). It...

Good morning, everyone. Sometimes we who cover politics treat the people in our milieu almost as abstractions, as disembodied “politicians,” almost a different species than homo sapiens. But they are all too human, motivated often more by emotions than...

Good morning, everyone. A popular Republican governor vs. a weak Democratic opponent. That was Chris Christie vs. Barbara Buono last night, and the incumbent won. Christie is a unique political talent, and so is Brian Sandoval. So let’s state the baseline for Gov. Sunny for...

Good morning, everyone. It’s Election Day in other parts of America today – New Jersey and Virginia are getting the most attention – as is New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez, who was campaigning for Gov. Chris Christie...
Good morning, everyone. Early this morning, Sen. Dean Heller, as expected, came out in support of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act. Here’s his statement: “After listening to Nevadans’ concerns about this issue from a variety of viewpoints and after numerous conversations with my colleagues, I feel that supporting this legislation is the right thing to do. Under the leadership of this Governor, as well as the legislature over the past several years, Nevada has established a solid...

Good morning, everyone. You stick around long enough, I suppose, you see (or hear) everything. When I was tipped to listen to Renegade Radio on Thursday because Jim Wheeler would be on, I could not have foretold what was coming. It is easy to...

Good morning, everyone. Happy Real Nevada Day. Today, I leave it to my man, William Lefkovics: “Worried that the copy of the Nevada Constitution would not get there in time, Nevada Territory Governor James...
